The 2018 Western Boat Show will feature vessels including Jeanneau Leader 36, Merry Fisher 695 and Glastron GT225.

An improved line-up of boats and exhibitors has been promised for the 2018 Bristol-based show and will also include Merry Fisher Marlin 795, Character Post Boat, Zodiac Seasport 400, BRIG ribs, Warrior 175 Export, Explorer Boats, Arborhouse Canal Boat and a large selection of second-hand boats from Channel Yacht Sales.

Richard Milbourn, event director of the Western Boat Show, said, “We’re delighted to be making the boat show free to visitors and enabling the boats on the pontoons to be accessible to everyone as part of Bristol's biggest free event.”

He added: “The 250 visiting boats moored up in the harbour and 250,000 visitors makes the Festival a real boating party and a spectacle not to be missed!”

The show, from 20-22 July, forms part of the Bristol Harbour Festival and will display a range of new and used boats for offshore and inland use, plus boating equipment.
